F6 : VIRTUALLY TRUE
INTRODUCTION
'Virtually True' is a story about Micheal Dawson and Shultz. Both of them are connected through a computer in the virtual world. It is an interesting story because this virtual world has certain real connections, whereby Micheal saved Sebastian Shultz's life.
TITLE JUSTIFICATION
The title of science fiction story 'Virtually True' is apt and logical. It is about psycho-drive video games, in which a person gets the illusion of being the character of the game itself. In the story, the narrator, unknowingly saves a real boy, but in a virtual way. He saves him in computer game. It is true that the boy was saved, but it is way only a 'Virtual' truth, some computer games are not real, but only a simulation of reality.
THEME/MESSAGE
Human beings are the only species known for the ability to think, analyse, process and act in an intelligent manner. In the story 'Virtually True', we come across a 'second advanced intelligence', the virtual technology such as video games that stimulate the real life. This science fiction describes the coming together of two intelligences, which help save Sebastian's life. That's why the narrator fells that in a world with humans as well as computers one can't say anything is impossible.
SUMMARY
The story starts with a boy named Micheal who reads an article in the newspaper about 'Miracle Recovery'. A boy whose condition was critical but stable had been recovered from coma. Michael recollects that the boy who was mentioned in the newspaper was im fact Sebastian Shultz who he had met weeks ago while playing. This all started in a Computer Fair, when Michael's father who was nutty about computers, bought him a new computer preloaded with games. When he plays the game 'Wild West', he becomes a Sherrif and is challenged by 'Black eyed Jed' to a duel. He meets the second Sherrif whom he was asked to go with. Unfortunately, the second Sherrif shots by the villians and the game ended. Later on, he got a printout which read "I'm Sebastian Shultz try playing Dragon Quest".
In Dragon Quest, his task was to the Princess Aurora from the wicked dragon and collect the wicked creature's treasure along the way. Later on, in the game, Sebastian was killed. The game ended with the prints displaying a message asking him not to give up and try playing "Jail Break". In Jail Break, his mission was to escape with the prisoner, and he knew it was Sebastian again. They broke out of jail, ran to the roof as doors shut behind them.
They dodged the guard and went towards the roof. On the roof, Sebastian pointed towards a helicopter. At that very moment the door behind them burst open. Sebastian got nervous. He took a step backwards which proved disastrous. He fell down and came tumbling down to the concrete below. He got badly injured and the game ended.
Michael yelled at Sebastian to come into the helicopter but Sebastian did not move. Moments later, a tank collided with a jeep and Sebastian was thrown into the helicopter. They flew into clouds and the game ended, saving him. When he removed his visor he came to know that he got the high score.
When Micheal read the article about Sebastian he knew that games were stolen from from him while they were coming to the hospital. And his memory had been saved in the computer. When he checked his mail he found a message from Sebastian stating that he was hit when he was playing, that's why it had been saved and also asked him to keep the games for himself.
